IBEW Local 701 Assistant Business Manager John Roti and PowerForward DuPage Executive Director Karyn Charvat
DuPage County recently invited young residents to help paint a mural celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary during the DuPage County Fair. DuPage County Board Chair Deborah Conroy and our Executive Director Karyn Charvat led the project.
“We wanted to add a youth component to our countywide celebration of our nation’s anniversary that would allow kids of all ages to express themselves and have fun,” said Chair Conroy. “Young artists can leave their personal stamp on our canvas as we mark America’s 250th birthday together.”
IBEW Local 701, together with PowerForward DuPage, provided the art supplies for the mural, which was created by Chair Conroy. “We were very proud to support this inclusive family activity at the DuPage County Fair. It was our hope that children, teens, and young adults would enjoy doing a little painting while they explored the rides and the Fair food,” said Frank Gravina, Business Manager of IBEW Local 701.
IBEW Local 701 Assistant Business Manager John Roti and DuPage County Board member Paula Deacon Garcia were also on hand to help.
